About Us

Africa Endeavours handcrafts dream vacations to some of the most exotic, rejuvenating, and exciting places on earth. We are not your average travel agency and our clients are not average travelers. They are adventurous, curious, and passionate. They seek an authentic experience on the road less traveled, yet want to see it all. Our team of experts provides all of this and more.

We specialize in luxury travel to southern and eastern Africa, offering firsthand expertise you won’t find on the internet. Fueled by our passion for travel, each of our team members regularly visits Africa, venturing far and wide to discover the hidden gems that truly give a place its character. We go above and beyond to provide personal touches, unexpected highlights, and meaningful insight into our corner of the world.

Our sister company, Down Under Endeavours was founded in 1998 by Australian native Corinne Goodman. Down Under Endeavours is a premier luxury travel agency staffed with well-respected experts in South Pacific locales, culture and history of this magnificent corner of the world. She started as a travel agency specializing only in Australia but has continued to add locations in the South Pacific. We bring the same attention to detail and authenticity to our newest destinations – South Africa and Thailand. Read more…

It’s the nicest compliment we receive from our clients, and we hear it often. (And you can read more client testimonials.) We understand that if you’re going to work with a travel professional, you need someone who has the insider knowledge that you could never find on the Internet, no matter how many hours you spent searching.

We are commonly asked how we make money. Nothing to hide here. Our revenue stems from our partnership with tours, hotels and travel providers, based on the volume of people we send to them. Our long-standing relationships give us buying power and savings we pass on to you, along with exclusive personal touches. Read more…

We are not a travel agency that charges fees for each transaction. We do charge a small consultation fee for our services, as we are a full-service company and we know our destinations like we know our own neighborhoods. We don’t send you gorilla trekking in Rwanda during the rainy season, knowing that hiking will be much more strenuous due to extensive rains. We work with your dream vacation checklist and offer you possible alternatives, and explain why. Ultimately, the decision is yours. However, you will be well informed at the time you decide.

Our team consists of expert travel planners, passionate about good, old-fashioned service, and for exploring the world’s exotic destinations. We travel overseas every year, to ensure you have the most up to date unbiased information. We’re based in Chicago, but travel the world to find the best of the best for our clients. Read more…
